India’s food industry is booming—but scaling a food brand across cities is still harder than it should be. Most founders hit a wall when faced with traditional franchise models. The reasons? High CapEx demands, royalty cuts, diluted brand control, and painfully slow rollouts.
For ambitious cloud kitchen entrepreneurs, chefs launching virtual brands, or regional players with D2C aspirations, the old franchise playbook doesn’t cut it anymore.
That’s where the anti-franchise model steps in.
At Grow Kitchen, we’re rewriting the rules. Our Cloud-Kitchen-as-a-Service (CKaaS) platform helps you scale food brand India-wide—without owning real estate, paying franchise fees, or compromising your vision.
Here’s how the anti-franchise approach is helping founders like you win big.
1. Zero CapEx, Maximum Reach
Forget ₹20–50 lakh franchise investments. With Grow Kitchen’s KaaS model, you plug into fully equipped cloud kitchens across India—no setup cost, no real estate headaches. You focus on food and marketing, we handle the infrastructure.
2. No Franchise Fees or Royalties
Unlike traditional models that eat into your margins, the anti-franchise approach lets you keep 100% of your revenue. There are no franchise fees, no royalties, and no hidden costs—just a simple usage-based model.

Why wait months to open in a new city? With Grow Kitchen’s ready-to-operate facilities, you can launch in new zones in under 15 days. Our expansion model is designed for speed and scale.
